• This paper discusses the trade structure in the Dutch Outer Islands ports, in whichthe Dutch checked the volume and value of traded items in order to levy customsduty and created trade statistics in the Indonesian Archipelago outside Java andMadura. Although these ports do not include those in independent ports such asthose in Aceh and Bali, the statistics contain precious information on the entireimports and exports of each port. Analyzing this set of statistics, this paper arguesthat the Dutch Outer Islands ports continued to export China-bound (partly SoutheastAsia-bound) tropical products, such as pepper, forest products, and other kindsof local products, as well as colonial products such as coffee. On the other hand,these ports imported increasing amounts of British cotton goods after the Anglo-Dutch tariff arrangement in the 1840s. In this way the existing China-oriented tradeand the new colonial trade, linked to Western capitalism, interacted and combinedwith each other. This transborder network beyond the Dutch sphere of influencewas a source of the strength that the regions around these ports maintained, in theform of a steady development of trade.
